This bronzing has apparently affected more than half the counties in the whole state of Florida; one would think the developer would have made sure the Villages was exempt!
And how exactly is TV supposed to control nature? I did not realize they had this ability.

The black spots on the fronds tell you it was lethal bronzing that killed this palm.

I’ve had many homes all over fl for about 25 years , I’ve had palm trees in all of them , one home in south Florida had 12 , my current one has 6 , I have never had a roach or carpenter ant and never saw a rat either, most people I know have had the same experience, even if I did have a problem that’s why I pay for bug service, for me it wouldn’t be Florida without palm trees

It seems to me that many palms were effected by the deep freeze. So far my palms seem fine and hopefully they will stay that way. Thanks for the info.

I just purchased from this site Tree Saver The antibiotic, plugs, and syringe to hopefully protect my palms. Once your palm gets lethal bronzing it will die. Only preventative measures will protect them.

Although we have tons of queen palms and robelleni palms in TV, our possible freeze temps are too cold for them. If your queens started dying after the freeze this year, that might be why. However, queen palms are also susceptible to lethal bronzing and it can spread from tree to tree.
